Sorting Genbank 16S rDNA for red seaweeds with TREE2FASTA. a Successive edits done in FigTree to establish an annotated design nested by color for reference and environmental red seaweeds (Florideophytes). b Folders and subsetted FASTA files output by TREE2FASTA for downstream analyses (folder content separated by dashed lines). For figure clarity, the Florideophyceae annotation was abbreviated to ‘Flo’ within FASTA file icons. The tree was produced with the 500 closest matches to Taenioma perpusillum (MF101452) on Genbank^®
